Hailee Steinfeld

It needs to be said and heard: it's OK to be who you are.

I was just another girl.

The shooting of the guns, that was kind of funny, because rolling a cigarette and shooting a gun aren't like normal things for a 13-year old girl!

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

All the books I was reading as a teenager were about individuals having adventures. So I thought that was what writers were supposed to do: to go out on the road.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
